April showers bring May flowers. I think I skipped a little ahead and went right to the sunshine after one day of nice weather. I swear I have insomnia this year when it comes to the weather – I genuinely do not remember being in this type of weird ass slump in the years past.
Anyway, hello, everyone. I hope you are all surviving. I know I barely am.
Often, I think about what I will write about every month. To get the creative juices flowing to illustrate some sort of beautiful metaphor, capture a great learning lesson, or simply speak about a troubling memory that brought out some healing. I don’t have one this month. I am tired. I am so tired that sometimes I think I am depressed. 2025 has not been such a lousy year – indeed, it hasn’t, but it just hasn’t elevated me in the way I think the latter half of 2024 did. And that is throwing me for a loop. I am not inspired. And when I am not inspired, I find it hard to continue doing the things I love.
Now, let’s not confuse the lack of inspiration with desire. I have the desire to do it all. Motivation may come or go, but we usually struggle with the comfort of finding momentum. To tap into that momentum, a balance is needed. What that balance looks like is completely up to you; we just have to listen to it.
So, if you are feeling a little low, uninspired, down in the slumps, or just lost about which change to make, just pause, breathe, and do the first thing your brain tells you it’s craving.
So I am going away to Sin City – I am going to indulge with In/Out, get some Vitamin D, dust up the hiking trails, inhale all the dirt I can, and come back with some needed inspiration.
Here we come, summer. You are not ready for us!
